Which detector did you use?
Contents
Background
Note down the values from the background counting you started the day before.
Counting number:
Counting time:
Counting speed:
Standard deviation:
Counting Efficiency
Do a one minute count on every shelf. Use these measurements to calculate the counting-efficiency of the GM-detector in %, for 234mPa. The activity of the sample can be calculated from the amount of UO3 used.
